A browser^, at a minimum, should support HTML + CSS (+1 if it supports the latest specification). Edit : ^A modern browser

That seems like an overly narrow definition of what a browser "should" be. I think there's enough choice that niche projects like this can exist.

By that definition, many screen reader browsers would not be considered browsers yet they enable the user to surf the web none the less.

That’s not how a screen reader works. It interfaces with a “normal” browser’s exposed accessibility tree, and generates speech / Braille from that.
